Rsync an offline database?

[BillDorrian at pgatourhq.com]

Is rsync a good way to make a valid copy of offline database files (TSM, 
in this case) from one xfs filesystem to another? If so, which options 
should I use?

Once again, the database services would be shut down, so the database 
would be offline.
